Why Are Marital Issues Increasing in India Today?
In today’s India, there is a dramatic rise in marital issues—including divorce, separation, emotional and physical abuse, extramarital affairs, dowry harassment, childlessness, and even early widowhood. Sadly, cheating in the name of love, marriage, and family is becoming increasingly common. Whether it is by relatives, friends, colleagues, or even one’s own spouse—betrayal is spreading like a disease.
Root Cause: The Decline of Morality and Purity
What is the root cause?
It is the domination of lower modes of nature—Rajo Guna (mode of passion) and Tamo Guna (mode of ignorance). These lead to lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion, and envy, which are the gateways to hell as described in the Bhagavad Gita (16.21):
"Tri-vidham narakasyedam dvaram nasanam atmanah
kamah krodhas tatha lobhas tasmad etat trayam tyajet"
Lust, anger, and greed—these are the three gates leading to hell, destroying the peace of individuals, families, and societies.
When the heart is impure, the mind becomes restless, and this gives rise to all kinds of cheating, immorality, domestic violence, and mental instability.
Social Impact of Impure Lifestyles
People today are trapped in the mode of ignorance:
-
Eating tamasic food (meat, processed foods)
-
Engaging in intoxication (alcohol, smoking, drugs)
-
Addicted to pornography and artificial pleasures
-
Rejecting time-tested Vedic wisdom and Dharma
-
Living fast-paced, machine-dependent lives
-
Losing touch with nature, farming, and real family bonding
This has led to:
-
Unstable marriages
-
Unhappy families
-
Increasing mental health disorders
-
Infertility and impotency
-
Road accidents, untimely deaths, and widowhood
Even spiritual disturbances like ghost afflictions (pishacha badha) or ancestral curses are being experienced due to accumulated karmic reactions.
Cultural Shift and Western Influence
We are witnessing a cultural shift in India:
-
Western influence is strong, but our spiritual foundation is weakening
-
Youth are confused between modern trends and eternal values
-
Technological advancements have brought convenience, but also loneliness, depression, and detachment from dharma
When the mind is not under control, people succumb to suicide, depression, anxiety, and crime.
Solution: Purify the Heart, Control the Mind
Despite all this, there is a powerful solution. That is the chanting of the Maha Mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
This transcendental vibration:
-
Purifies the heart
-
Controls the mind
-
Destroys lust, anger, and greed
-
Restores harmony in family life
-
Brings peace, prosperity, and spiritual awakening
Path Forward for Happy Family Life
If India wants to protect marriages and families:
-
Protect cows and bulls – return to simple living and high thinking
-
Avoid intoxication and meat eating – follow a sattvic lifestyle
-
Produce your own food – become self-sufficient
-
Reduce dependence on technology and machines
-
Spend more time with family in seva (service), not screen
-
Teach Vedic values to children from an early age
-
Encourage spiritual practices, prayer, and mantra meditation
-
Seek guidance from genuine astrologers and saints to overcome karmic problems
-
Create awareness about the dangers of lust, greed, and uncontrolled desires
